Since I am a new music junkie, I often check for new music on iTunes. And this is what iTunes considers New & Noteworthy for me (I don’t know if it is targeted . . .) What a load of crap. I listened to at least one sample on each album.
There are some seriously bad recordings in this lot. (Dub Evolution for sure)
A bunch of bad imitations of things that have gone before & should be left to die peacefully.
A good songwriter who can’t sing. (Guy Clark)
A good songwriter who is almost interesting but not quite. (Lauren Aquilina)
And one possible good one but I hate her style. (Hiatus Kaiyote – good recording as well)
I am ashamed for the music industry & iTunes if this is the best that they can manage. I know it's not a big release time of year but is it any wonder sales are down?
